Whats quicker? APR Polo Gti or AFM SS VE?

[noone]

Whats faster, a panther with syphilis or a snail on crack?

I'm sure your new toy is lovely, I'm still happy with the Polo.

Ahh, the ****en troll is back... How are you going Hulk??

I don't know about anyone else, but my Polo GTI blitzes all!!

[tooch]

Has Hulk managed to get any Bunnings taps for his Commodore ? Maybe some cut springs ? Chev badge would be the thing to add as well, bit like the 1.8T badge added to a Polo GTI

Don't forget the southern cross sticker on the back, and probably Jetpilot or similar bogan brand sticker across the back window. And maybe 'interceptors' on the back.

Rolling 80-120km/h is a relevant figure which can often be compared regardless of configuration.

My money is that my polo will destroy common SS V8s, and also some HSVs (auto). That's 80-120km over take time. I believe well tuned Polo GTIs making around 140kw + at wheels will be able to 80-120km/h around 3 sec bang on. This is on dry with no wheel spin.

My car with REVO Stage 2 - I believe should produce close to 145kw or over at wheels.

New HSV on automatic had 3.2 sec in NZ Autocar magazine - and I think Petrina your 3.2 probably is slightly optimistic. Obviously magazine measurements will be different, pending on location, angle of road, temperature, height, etc etc.

Golf R does about 3.4-3.5 sec from my memory, and I believe well tuned Polo GTI will be faster from 80-120km/h.

Hahaha, the SS by a considerable margin.

You might catch the SS out on reaction time and just about nothing else.

Take them to the track...

NATSOFT Race Result

Note that the F360 that's listed just above the Polo on that page is actually a Walkinshaw W427 as the guy's 360 broke down on the way to the track. If that's all they can get out of that beast than the Polo should have no problem against an SS...

LOL!

I'll have whatever your smoking... because your post is a pile of dreamt up nonsense. 145kw with stage 2.... umm... riiiiiight.

Let alone getting close to a VE SS time in that.

Just for fun - Simple power to weight:

Boggo VE-SS: 1790 kg, 270 kw - 6.6 kg/kw

Stock polo: 1190 kg, 110 kw - 10.8 kg/kw
Chipped polo: 1190 kg, 150 kw - 7.9 kg/kw
Chip, zorst, FMIC polo: 1190 kg, 170 kw - 7.0 kg/kw

SS wins.

Honestly, who the **** cares?? I have a Polo just because I like it, and it is a fun car to drive. It suits what I want in a car, and for what I want to do. I don't have a family to ship around in it, and if I need the space to put something big in the car, I just drop the seats. I have humbled many a Commodore or falcon in the windy stuff, and for me that matters.
Drive the car you want, don't have a car, bag it out on a forum, sell it with its dodgy mods (cut springs, Bunnings water tap, etc), buy another, then another, all the time coming back to the same forum and regretting the car you bagged out in the first place.

Fcuk off Petrina, and go troll somewhere else, we don't want you here. If Boost doesn't want you, you have no hope!!

Dare I ask, what this water tap "mod" was all about? LOL
